It was said at the B. R. T. offices last
night that four men had reported to the

Wngr .Statement by Garrison.
In a statement Issued last night re
garding the wages thnt were paid to
the car men before they went on strike,
and which they deem inadequate, He-
Celver Garrleon said:
"Taking the classes of empoyees Which
truck, namely, the trainmen on the sub
way, elevated arid surface, excepting , the
motormen on the subway and elevated,
the facts are as follows:
"The minimum pay of a guard on the
elevated and subway Is $1,450 a year
and his maximum, obtained after eight
een months service. Is $1,500 per an
num. Similar llgureffor the conductors
on the elevated and subway are $1,750
minimum and $1,840 maximum.
. "The conductors and motormen on
tne surface are paid a minimum of
$1,650 a ear and after three years a
maximum of $1,950 per annum.
"All of these, of course, are for men
working full time, which means alz
days a week.
"It Is the Identical waige paid to the
following number of men In similar
lines of employment by the following
companies:
"Four thousand five hundred and
fifty-eight by tho Interim rough Rapid
Transit Company; 1,494 by the New
York Hallways Company; 2,044 by the
Third Avenue Railways Company. The

have been scattered and not always

Manhattan and Brooklyn, are also to be

ly 1,000,000 workers would be affected
by the merger.
The amalgamation will unify every
'abor movement Inaugurated in the cit.
with the possibility of a gigantic sym
pathetic action In favor of rnembrrs who
have a grievance. Dues will be paid
,nto the central body, Instead of Into
two or three central Indies, and action
affecting labor throughout the five bcr
OUgha will be taken by the executive
officers of the merged organization.
Mr Qosnpora said: "I regard the
merger as one of the greatest moves in
favor of harmony and solidarity In the
rinks of labor thai ever lias ieen at
tempted by the American Federation of
Labor. It alms to unite all I actions
und to unify organized labor as nvor
before in Its history.
"The merger will have a powerful
effect on the entire labor movement, nnd
it! organized labor cn emulate the
unions of the metropolitan district In
he matter of united action and centrali
7atlon of end.avor. The power and
prestige of the American Federation of
Lab r will stand behind the merger "
There was great bitterness In the union
ranks when the subject of a central body
was considered last winter. Charges
were made that a political organization
was planned. Mr. Hompors had always
been opposed to n labor party, but he
approved the amalgamation. In order to
swing the Central Federated Union Into
line James I'. Holland, president of the
State Federation of Labor, who had not
been present at a C. F. U. meeting in
years, took the floor to apeak for Mr.
Gompers with Hugh Frayne. the na

Accepted After the wane contract hud
been drawn miners asked him in reopen
the controversy.
While no answer has yet gone for
ward to tlds last reipjest, officials of tho
organized miners expect that the Presi
dent may communicate with the miner.
John tawls, president of the United
Mine Workers, Is In Washington, but
he refused to comment to-day on the
anthracite situation or to reveal what
I rought him here.
Just why the Government should
modify it attitude toward the outlaw
strlkero now is not clear, ijibor De
partment officials have Insisted that the
mlncVe1 strike did not have the strength
to last and that the men now out would
be back at work soon. They declared
only a minority were for a strike and
that large amounts due the men In
back pay under tho new wage award
would attract many from the strikers.
This view seems to be borne out by re
ports from Pennsylvania that the men
are returning to work, and Labor Da
pertinent officials seem confident that
the strike will soon lose what momen
tum It has left.
At the same time, It was learned
here, the plan of having the President
communicate with th" miners Is being
considered and it is assumed that the
President will not do thla unless by
advice of ihe Department of La bond
which has fuP charge of the anthracite
case. When the anthracite coal com
mission granted Its award It specified
that it furnished th" operators no :;
Mje to raise coal prices hut that In
stead a price drop should result Fur

Sir Robert explained to-night his no

pose In calling thu conference between

the Government Is willing to submit the

m unwilling to jUsciish price reduction

been detei mined for the country through

could not prevent the looming of poor woolens; but we could,
and we did, maintain through the departing period of economic
demoralization, the lone, neglected tradition of genuine custom
workmanship in men's clothes and that was the Franklin

And so we have three things to report.
First, the looming up of quality in woolens.
Second, the return of sanity in prices.
